Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8 with respect to up to 10,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Kandi Technologies Group, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to Kandi Technologies Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the registration by the Company of an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), issuable under the Company’s 2008 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended on May 20, 2015 and further amended on December 28, 2018 (the “Plan”), including 5,000,000 shares of the Common Stock that are issuable upon exercise of stock options granted under certain Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreements dated September 7, 2022 pursuant to the Plan. The Shares are included in a registration statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on September 11, 2023, including the prospectus (the “Prospectus”) that is a part of the Registration Statement. This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Shares.

As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter, including, without limitation: (A) the Registration Statement, together with the exhibits filed as a part thereof and including any documents incorporated by reference therein; (b) the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, Certificate of Renewal and Revival of Charter and the subsequent charter amendments; (B) the Bylaws of the Company; (D) the Plan; (E) the Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreements; and (F) corporate resolutions and proceedings of the Company relating to the Plan and the Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreements. We are opining herein as to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), and we express no opinion with respect to any other laws.

In making the foregoing examination, we have assumed the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures on all original documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the due authorization, execution, delivery or recordation of all documents where due authorization, execution or recordation are prerequisites to the effectiveness thereof. We have further assumed that the Company has reserved for issuance an adequate number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for issuance under the Plan.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein and having regard for such legal considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that (i) the Shares covered by the Registration Statement have been duly authorized and, when issued and sold in accordance with the Plan or in accordance with the applicable Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreements, as the case may be, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

In rendering the foregoing opinion, we have assumed that the Company will comply with all applicable notice requirements regarding uncertificated shares provided in the DGCL.
